Description:
The MTV-7 Multi-Terrain Vehicle was a single-track, double-wheeled groundcar used by the Imperial Army to scout planetary terrain during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The MTV-7, adaptable in multiple mobile configurations, was operated by a single pilot and armed with a single laser cannon. The Galactic Empire utilized MTV-7s among its ground forces as part of the Imperial invasion of Echo Base, the Rebel Alliance headquarters, during the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY.
The MTV-7 Multi-Terrain Vehicle was a wheeled scouting car utilized by the Imperial Army during the prime years of the Galactic Civil War. The MTV-7 boasted a range of transportation modes, with the ability to crawl, climb, or even fly over planetary terrain?in addition to the vehicle's basic upright position, the MTV-7's large double wheels could stretch outward from the main superstructure to adopt a low, ground-hugging configuration. Armed with a single rotating laser cannon, the MTV-7 held room for a single pilot in an open-air cockpit. A forward-facing, grilled headlight was positioned at the front of the vehicle.
During the Battle of Hoth, the massive Imperial campaign to crush the Rebel Alliance High Command headquarters of Echo Base on the Outer Rim ice planet Hoth, in 3 ABY, the Empire utilized at least three MTV-7 Multi-Terrain Vehicles as part of its ground invasion forces. Both snowtroopers and Imperial Army pilots operated the MTV-7s to scout Hoth's hostile terrain.
